I used to love thunderstorms. I would sit in the garage and watch them in the summer. There was something fascinating about them. Now I'm not so fond of them. My dog gets so freaked out that they stress me out too.

I love thunderstorms like you as long as I don't have to drive in them or run through them to get into the grocery store when I must go (happened last week it was pouring rain and actually had a few moments of tiny hail) otherwise I love rain, especially if I am just inside my house chilling but I don't like it when the electricity goes out.

Here in my little corner of the world we have been very fortunate. There have been many tornados, floods and terrible storms around us but we have been spared. I am very thankful and yet very sorry for those who have been effected by these storms. I am in Southern Ohio.
